Alternative careers for lawyers are explored in this video with me, Marc Luber, founder of JD CareersOut There ("JDCOT") and the JD Refugee class. I'm a lawyer who has worked in alternative careers - first in the music industry, and then I've been helping lawyers with their careers since 2003 when I first became a legal recruiter.

For those who have the legal skill set and background but no longer want to practice law, there are plenty of alternative careers that can make a fulfilling fit. Like the video explains, it is common to find lawyers working in alternative jobs in real estate, insurance, banking, finance, and legal tech. But you'll also find lawyers working in a wide variety of other careers.
In fact, as the video says, I've interviewed lawyers working in a wide variety of alternative careers for lawyers: from public relations to compliance. In each video interview, the lawyers share what their alternative career paths are really like. They talk about a typical day, what skills and personality types best fit their path, how their law degrees help them, how to break in to those types of jobs and tips for success.
You'll find those interviews in the YouTube playlist linked to above. The full-length versions of those interviews are available with the JD Refugee class and the JDCOT membership.
Why would lawyers be leaving law for non-law careers?
Practicing law isn't for everyone. Some people love law school but hate being a lawyer. Some love practicing law at first but, after a few years, become the burned out attorney they had always read about. Others hate law school from the get-go but stick with it because they don't know what else to do or fear being seen as a quitter.
In 2018, the media paid more attention to the legal profession's problems of depression, substance abuse and suicide. The AmericanBar Association is also providing more resources in this area. These real problems plaguing the legal profession don't mean that being a lawyer is bad. Or that becoming burned out or wanting to leave law are signs of failure. They're not!
The reality is that the practice of law is not a good fit for everyone. And when people discover that being a lawyer may not be a good fit for them, it then becomes important to explore what to do with a law degree beyond practicing law. After all, life is short. And being stuck in the wrong career fit day after day can drag down one's sanity and overall quality of life.
So that's where alternative careers for lawyers fit in to the picture. These are jobs that can benefit from the skill set that lawyers and law grads bring to the table. Are law degrees required for these jobs? Most likely no. Are employers specifically looking for lawyers for these jobs? Sometimes, but most likely no. Should one go to law school just to get these jobs? Most likely no.
But can a lawyer discover how they're a great fit for these jobs and convince an employer of the same so they can get hired? YES. Can a lawyer excel in these jobs thanks to the special bundle of skills they bring to the table? YES. Can a lawyer thrive as their skills, talents and interests are applied to a specific type of alternative work that they enjoy and that fits them? YES.
All of these topics are what I help with at JD Careers Out There. For example, through my JD Refugee class, I help you step-by-step from figuring out what fits you to navigating your way into a new career path.

Monthly Lectures, January 29, 2019
Miloš Vec will analyze the intersection of the idea of pariah weapons with clashes between moral verdicts and legal bans in the 19th century. The industrial revolution and subsequent technological progress enabled the production and use of a new range of weapons and military equipment. How did international law and lawyers react to this development? What arguments based on legal doctrine were in favour of or against outlawing “uniquely evil” weapons? The talk will also offer a synopsis and interpretation of the writings from the best-known authors of the so-called classical European law of nations, such as Hugo Grotius, Emer de Vattel, and Immanuel Kant, who provided long-lasting standards and criteria for outlawing weapons. The history of international law will be approached from a multi-normative perspective that examines entanglements between legal norms, morality, and social customs (e.g. military honour codes). Finally he will address how the self-perceptions of 19th-century international lawyers and their beliefs in the progress of technology and civilization were overshadowed by Eurocentrism.
In his conclusion, he will supply evidence how such attitudes contributed to the failure of the project of outlawing weapons.
Miloš Vec is Professor of EuropeanLegal and Constitutional History at Vienna University and a Permanent Fellow at the IWM.

Film festival

A film festival is an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events. Some film historians do not consider Film Festivals as official releases of film, like Jerry Beck.
The best known film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, the latter being the largest film festival worldwide, based on attendance. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest major festival. The Melbourne International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world. A 2013 study found 3,000 active films festivals worldwide—active defined as having held an event in the previous 24 months.

Headed by Andy Kaulkin, ANTI- first gained attention by releasing Tom Waits' Grammy award winning Mule Variations in 1999. Along with Waits, several veteran recording artists such as rhythm and blues singers Solomon Burke, Bettye LaVette and Marianne Faithfull have signed onto ANTI- after leaving other major labels.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

Apartheid

Apartheid (Afrikaans pronunciation:[ɐˈpartɦɛit]; an Afrikaans word meaning "separateness", or "the state of being apart", literally "apart-hood") was a system of racial segregation in South Africa enforced through legislation by the National Party (NP), the governing party from 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, the rights, associations, and movements of the majority black inhabitants and other ethnic groups were curtailed, and white minority rule was maintained. Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond organizations. The ideology was also enforced in South West Africa, which was administered by South Africa under a League of Nations mandate (revoked in 1966 via United Nations Resolution 2145), until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990. By extension, the term is currently used for forms of systematic segregation established by the state authority in a country against the social and civil rights of a certain group of citizens due to ethnic prejudices.

Plot

The Goodies are hired by a maniacally racist South African Tourist Agent to make an advertisement encouraging Britons to come to South Africa. However, the tourist agent is unhappy with what they have done, since they showed black people in South Africa having a good time. Tim points out that South Africa has many black people, but the Tourist Agent retorts that they are not having a good time. The enraged agent forces the Goodies to emigrate to South Africa.

The influx of tourist boats the Goodies' advertisement brings allows the black people an opportunity to get away from South Africa, leading to apartheid segregation disintegrating. To keep the economy going, apartheid is replaced by the new segregation of apartheight (apart-height). Tim and Graeme are tall enough not to be affected — but Bill is not quite tall enough. Bill, and the South African jockeys, are now treated as the second class citizens of South Africa, and are put under curfew. Bill is also forced to work for Tim and Graeme, who both take full advantage of Bill's newly disadvantaged position and treat him like a slave. Bill takes charge of the situation, and he and the jockeys rebel and eventually win out against their 'masters'.

Fashion & Intellectual Property

Fashion is a three trillion dollar a year industry with a 100% participation rate. So how do companies like Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, and Christian Louboutin promote their brands globally while still protecting their designs?
To what extent are creators, from individual fashion designers to million-dollar brands, protected under intellectual property law? How do you balance protecting IP with fostering innovation? Lawyers, law professors, and industry experts discuss the role of intellectual property in the fashion industry, explaining three recent cases that continue to spark debate on design protection in the United States.

Why would lawyers be leaving law for non-law careers?
Practicing law isn't for everyone. Some people love law school but hate being a lawyer. Some love practicing law at first but, after a few years, become the burned out attorney they had always read about. Others hate law school from the get-go but stick with it because they don't know what else to do or fear being seen as a quitter.
In 2018, the media paid more attention to the legal profession's problems of depression, substance abuse and suicide. The AmericanBar Association is also providing more resources in this area. These real problems plaguing the legal profession don't mean that being a lawyer is bad. Or that becoming burned out or wanting to leave law are signs of failure. They're not!
The reality is that the practice of law is not a good fit for everyone. And when people discover that being a lawyer may not be a good fit for them, it then becomes important to explore what to do with a law degree beyond practicing law. After all, life is short. And being stuck in the wrong career fit day after day can drag down one's sanity and overall quality of life.

But can a lawyer discover how they're a great fit for these jobs and convince an employer of the same so they can get hired? YES.

In each video interview, the lawyers share what their alternative career paths are really like. They talk about a typical day, what skills and personality types best fit their path, how their law degrees help them, how to break in to those types of jobs and tips for success.
You'll find those interviews in the YouTube playlist linked to above. The full-length versions of those interviews are available with the JD Refugee class and the JDCOT membership.
Why would lawyers be leaving law for non-law careers?
Practicing law isn't for everyone. Some people love law school but hate being a lawyer. Some love practicing law at first but, after a few years, become the burned out attorney they had always read about. Others hate law school from the get-go but stick with it because they don't know what else to do or fear being seen as a quitter.
In 2018, the media paid more attention to the legal profession's problems of depression, substance abuse and suicide. The AmericanBar Association is also providing more resources in this area. These real problems plaguing the legal profession don't mean that being a lawyer is bad. Or that becoming burned out or wanting to leave law are signs of failure. They're not!
The reality is that the practice of law is not a good fit for everyone. And when people discover that being a lawyer may not be a good fit for them, it then becomes important to explore what to do with a law degree beyond practicing law. After all, life is short. And being stuck in the wrong career fit day after day can drag down one's sanity and overall quality of life.
So that's where alternative careers for lawyers fit in to the picture. These are jobs that can benefit from the skill set that lawyers and law grads bring to the table. Are law degrees required for these jobs? Most likely no. Are employers specifically looking for lawyers for these jobs? Sometimes, but most likely no. Should one go to law school just to get these jobs? Most likely no.
But can a lawyer discover how they're a great fit for these jobs and convince an employer of the same so they can get hired? YES. Can a lawyer excel in these jobs thanks to the special bundle of skills they bring to the table? YES. Can a lawyer thrive as their skills, talents and interests are applied to a specific type of alternative work that they enjoy and that fits them? YES.
All of these topics are what I help with at JD Careers Out There. For example, through my JD Refugee class, I help you step-by-step from figuring out what fits you to navigating your way into a new career path. You'll learn more about it in my free training on "How to Transition from Law to Fulfilling Alternative Careers" (link below). Even if you don't end up registering for the class, you'll still get a lot of value out of the free training.

Monthly Lectures, January 29, 2019
Miloš Vec will analyze the intersection of the idea of pariah weapons with clashes between moral verdicts and legal bans in the 19th century. The industrial revolution and subsequent technological progress enabled the production and use of a new range of weapons and military equipment. How did international law and lawyers react to this development? What arguments based on legal doctrine were in favour of or against outlawing “uniquely evil” weapons? The talk will also offer a synopsis and interpretation of the writings from the best-known authors of the so-called classical European law of nations, such as Hugo Grotius, Emer de Vattel, and Immanuel Kant, who provided long-lasting standards and criteria for outlawing weapons. The history of international law will be approached from a multi-normative perspective that examines entanglements between legal norms, morality, and social customs (e.g. military honour codes). Finally he will address how the self-perceptions of 19th-century international lawyers and their beliefs in the progress of technology and civilization were overshadowed by Eurocentrism.
In his conclusion, he will supply evidence how such attitudes contributed to the failure of the project of outlawing weapons.
Miloš Vec is Professor of EuropeanLegal and Constitutional History at Vienna University and a Permanent Fellow at the IWM.

The world’s first AI legal assistant | Andrew Arruda | TED Institute

As a lawyer, Andrew Arruda too often saw the scales of justice tip in favor of the wealthy and partnered with a computer scientist to create the world’s first artificially intelligent legal assistant, ROSS. By speeding up legal research, Arruda wants ROSS to make the practice of law cheaper and fulfill the original promise of “justice for all.”
TED@IBM was a TED-curated event produced in partnership with IBM.

Popular Alternative Careers for Lawyers

Alternative careers for lawyers are explored in this video with me, Marc Luber, founder of JD CareersOut There ("JDCOT") and the JD Refugee class.

For those who have the legal skill set and background but no longer want to practice law, there are plenty of alternative careers that can make a fulfilling fit. Like the video explains, it is common to find lawyers working in alternative jobs in real estate, insurance, banking, finance, and legal tech. But you'll also find lawyers working in a wide variety of other careers.
In fact, as the video says, I've interviewed lawyers working in a wide variety of alternative careers for lawyers: from public relations to compliance.
